Global Classic 8.25-inch Swedish Fillet Knife

Global Classic 8.25-inch Swedish Fillet Knife

The Swedish fillet pattern is narrow and thin from heel to tip, a shape suited to skinning a fillet, taking silver skin off a tenderloin and working along the spine of a flatfish. The G-41 is Global’s version at 21 cm.

The slim blade keeps drag low on long strokes, so a fillet of salmon or halibut can be skinned in one continuous pass with the edge angled slightly toward the skin. On a sole or flounder, it follows the flat bone structure to lift each fillet cleanly. In the meat kitchen, the narrow blade slides under silver skin and lifts it in strips with little meat attached.

Choosing Among Global Fillet Knives

The Global Classic 8-inch Flexible Fillet Knife is the general filleting knife at this length, with a wider blade for round fish. The G-41 is the narrower choice for skinning and trimming work. For salmon sides and other large fish, the Global Classic 11-inch Flexible Fillet Knife offers more reach. All five Global boning and fillet knives are compared in the table below and in our knife shapes guide.

Tips for Best Results

Cut with a forward or backward slicing stroke. Chopping straight down onto the board dulls a thin edge faster.
Keep the edge away from bones, frozen food, hard nuts and hard cheese. If the blade catches on something hard, free it with a forward-and-back motion; twisting it sideways can chip or bend the edge.
Cut on wood or plastic. Glass, stone, marble and tile surfaces damage the edge.

Care

Wash by hand with warm water and a mild detergent, rinse, and dry with a towel right away. Global advises against the dishwasher, since the heat and strong detergents can damage the edge and the steel.
Do not soak the knife or clean it with bleach or chlorine cleansers.
Hone with a ceramic or diamond rod and sharpen on a whetstone at 10 to 15 degrees. Global recommends ceramic or diamond rods over conventional honing steels.
A household stainless steel cleaner removes rust spots left by inadequate drying.
